Alan Shearer has revealed that Manchester United were interested in signing him before he joined Blackburn Rovers in 1992... but missed out when they failed to return a phone call.

The former England skipper ended up making an English record £3.5million move from Southampton to Rovers, but he has revealed on on 5 live Sport's Joy of Rovers programme that it could have been so different.

"After talks [with Kenny Dalglish] I went back home and had a call from someone at Manchester United," explained the 44-year-old.

"They were interested, they wanted to sign me. I said 'I've promised Kenny I'd give him an answer within two or three days, I intend to do that. I would love to have talks with you,'" added the 44-year-old.
